So you can get up to 10 units on single family lots (SB 684) but not multifamily lots if zoned density is less than 10 for this multifamily parcel?

Bikes get flat tires. Learn how to remove & replace wheels, and fix flat tires.

Pay attention to repairability. Prefer an e-bike that uses standard components that can easily be replaced.

Too late!

And crush it

Sounds brilliant, very artistic.

I've often thought about that. Round parking spaces. Long, skinny, spaghetti-like parking spaces. Spaces that require the car to go vertical. Spaces in holes, so people don't have to look at parked cars. Why are we limiting ourselves?

I didn't think you said people should speed. I assume we're in agreement: speeders should be cited, and the city should do traffic calming so people realize they shouldn't speed.

The city should fix the street so it no longer feels like people should speed on it. Nevertheless, people shouldn't speed.

Could it also be that weekend drivers are less familiar with the area that weekday drivers?

What remedies can Oakland legally impose on those habitual speeders? Can they impose higher penalties for repeat violations of the law? Can they impound the car? These menaces need to be removed from the roadways.

When they total up the dead bodies they need to justify No Right Turn on Red, do dead children count more, because they're children, or less, because they're small? How big a pile of corpses do they need? Inquiring minds want to know.

That bike’s a beauty.

The craven prosecutor declined to charge the actual killer, the reckless and incompetent driver, and the broken-hearted family are lashing out against everyone.

The kid on the e-bike did absolutely nothing wrong. The killer driver cut him off! They're suing a kid for just riding along legally, and then being cut off by a careless and incompetent driver.

They have to be done in tandem or nothing happens.

"We need safer streets and more accessible/safe/consistent transit first, that's what positions us to move away from car culture and make that shift actually appealing." When others say that, they don't actually end up supporting the safer streets & transit. It's just an excuse to do nothing. .....

Drivers are constantly demanding that I take their desires (which they always classify as needs) seriously when they manifestly won't take mine seriously. "Everyone drives," they say to my face, when they know I don't drive. If we're going to take the other side's positions seriously, then do it.

And even when the driver wasn't going above the speed limit, they likely were violating the basic speed law that a driver can't go faster than is safe in the conditions.

"Speed wasn't a factor in that car crash."

Oh? Would the pedestrian still have died if the driver had been going 0 mph? Would the pedestrian still have died if the driver had been going 10 mph?

The usual way to grandfather in parking charges is to give a discount to current (but not future) residents of an area. I'm OK with that. I mean, I hate it, but I'm OK with doing it. It might be a bit hard to administer for tenants though.

But if you had the $10 million, would you use a car service for every single trip that you presently take by car? I don't think you would.

Subsidizing car ownership also has real, sobering costs.

What part of the picture do you not think I'm seeing? I don't think it's in the interest of the City of New York to subsidize car ownership.

NYC can cancel bus routes if they want to. Or raise the fares, if they want to. And they can also raise the cost of street parking, if they want to. Nobody guaranteed you free street parking in perpetuity. You rented the apartment, not the street.

We're talking about NYC. The large majority of people in NYC don't have cars. Let's agree that NYC needs more housing, and the city should let builders build it. But everyone who moves into an apartment has chosen to live there. It's their problem to figure out where to store a car if they have one.

If they were willing to pay for it.

Just charge the market rate, which is to say, the rate that fills up the spaces leaving one or two every block. No waiting lists. Everybody who wants a space and is willing to pay for it can have a space.

Don't let the good be the enemy of the best. Sac is way better, but also SJ is improving. You look at San Jose and see how they're worse than Sac, but I look and see how they're better than other Bay Area cities and making good changes.

They do now, in some zones.
